PATH is not only beneficial to the individual teachers, but will also prove to be a recruiting tool.

“I congratulate Southern Iowa Council of Governments housing trust fund on their commitment to affordable housing in their community and for providing an avenue for teachers to become first-time home buyers.

The benefits of PATH will reap many benefits, not only for the teachers, but for their local communities for many generations to come,” said Iowa Finance Authority Executive Director Dave Jamison.

“The Southern Iowa Council of Governments housing trust fund is honored and humbled to receive this recognition from the Iowa Finance Authority,” said Timothy Ostroski, executive director of SICOG. “The SICOG HTF tries to implement programs that are beneficial to individuals, communities and the area that we serve.”

An independent panel of judges scored the HousingIowa awards. More information on the HousingIowa Conference is available at: www.IFAMeetings.com.
